He's inconsistent. In Act 1 Scene 2 he tells Paris that he won't let Juliet marry until she's 16, and then not unless she wants to, and a few days later he will disown Juliet if she does not marry Paris RIGHT NOW. He sets up a wedding on two days' notice, thinking that's the shortest possible time, then changes his mind and gives the bridegroom and priest a couple hours' notice of a new time. He refuses to allow Tybalt to "protect the family honour" at the party by starting a fight with the Montagues, but is so protective of his own personal honour that he will disown his only child and heir rather than break an ill-conceived promise.

So, he acts on the spur of the moment without consideration for anyone else, and with no desire to be consistent with what he has previously said or done. In a ruler, these qualities would make him a tyrant.
